Picked up a Vegas Red 2025 X3 M50

MachinesWithSouls · 10-07-2024, 05:39 PM

Featured on BIMMERPOST.com

The wait wasn't so bad.

Vegas Red over Black/Alcantara. Coming from a 2022 X3 M40i.

Yes, I like it better. But some cheap elements inside. I'll give a full review after a few weeks of seat time.

No, I never saw or drove one before picking it up (and I see everything). But – it's a BMW. Drives like one. If you're on the fence, rest assured it's another great X3 overall.

Congratulations, looks great. Good luck, enjoy and be safe.

Love the color!

Wait. You have a Z1 on your garage? I’ve never seen one in person. They’re super rare. I was just reading less than 1,000 were sold in the USA. I didn’t even know they were sold in the USA.

MidnightLight · 10-07-2024, 09:55 PM

That Vegas Red is stunning. Almost makes me wish I got that over Tanzanite Blue. Congrats on the new ride.

lol, it also looks like the photo has a BMW Showroom attached, so possibly photos at the dealer ?

Is that the fire red colour. It look very nice.

I have ordered that on my new x3 30e.

Can’t wait to get it now.

Oh on second glance maybe you’re right. I thought the garage looked too clean, and not too many people have a leather sofa in their garage. LOL. Plus, the license plate on the z1 is a European plate and not really legal in the USA.

theres also like 5 bmws parked right outside. I thought it looked like a home garage too though

JoeyO · 10-08-2024, 08:55 PM

Let’s see some photos in the bright sparkly sun! There aren’t too many photos of the Vegas red color on the internet. I know, I looked.

Plenty of video reviews use a Fire/Vegas Red M50.

Equilibrandt · 10-09-2024, 12:16 PM

After seeing Vegas Red in person, I've come to the conclusion that it's far better in all lighting conditions than Melbourne Red, FWIW.

Agree and I would have selected it over my 2024 Aventurin Red as well.

spuntyb · 10-09-2024, 01:04 PM

was about to say i was here for your Z1, but then realized this was at the dealer lol

WWM3 · 10-09-2024, 01:06 PM

OP, what are the improvements over the previous model? Obviously, the interior is a victim of extreme cost cutting and the exterior looks are subjective. Is it the tech you like more? Ride quality? Thanks.

bunker · 10-09-2024, 01:15 PM

how does the Vegas compare to the Imola you've got right next to it?

deemo319 · 10-09-2024, 01:20 PM

Dude has a Z1 in the garage. Damn!

David Kunitz · 10-09-2024, 01:28 PM

Woah, nice Z1 that's incredible!

Oh yeah, X3 is also cool

[/:\] GP9000 · 10-09-2024, 01:36 PM

BMW crafted a true signature color with Vegas/Fire Red and it reminds me of Mazda‘s Crystal Soul Red - not in terms of color shade, but how it became their communication color for new model launches and how it was adopted by their customers.

Wondering if the share of red BMWs sold will increase since the color is available on the different models.

X3 looks incredible. Enjoy!
